A system for visually representing call events in calls handled by an automated response system of a call processing center uses a recording of calls recorded from end to end. Events of interest that occurred during a recorded call are annotated and time stamped, and a call type of the call is determined. Time stamp data for predetermined significant events of the annotated events of interest is segregated, with the time stamp data providing timings for the predetermined significant events. The timings are tabulated by call type and bar graphs are prepared to illustrate the timings of the predetermined significant events for each call type.

Apparatus and method for visually representing events in calls handled by an automated response system

A system for analyzing the performance of an interactive voice response (IVR) system operates to record from end to end plural calls from callers. For a plurality of calls, the system codes and annotates an agent-caller interaction, including a topic discussed during the interaction; detects a routing operation of the IVR system by detecting a sequence of events in the IVR system, with reference to a call-flow file that summarizes the call-flow model of the IVR system, for each call; and cross-tabulates routing information obtained from the detected sequence of events with results from the coded and annotated agent-caller interactions.
